Sam, 'I AM' Connections

I met Sam at the gym yesterday. Sam plays the 'mouth organ,' which most people call a 'harmonica.' I said, "So does my Dad."
We started talking... about lineage which lead to 'faith.' He said he didn't agree with people who said that, 'you're going to hell if you don't believe in Jesus.'
I listened.
He said he believed in a God of love, not violence (Sam was a POW- I didn't know that at the time of our conversation).
I listened.
He said, 'God existed long before Jesus and that Jesus was a prophet.'
I said, 'Ah, but Scripture says that 'I and the Father are One.'
He replied, 'The God of Abraham!...' I replied, 'Yes, the God of Abraham!' Finally, we connected.
I also suggested that, maybe, his biggest complaint was 'method' of delivering the Message.
Sam is all about music and so I shared with him my background that would be interesting to him, to make a 'connection.' I told him I grew up singing a capella in a German choir. Very interesting to him, indeed. He asked me if I was an alto or a mezzo soprano.
I started singing, yes, right there at the gym, wearing my 'schmatta' (I know, crazy...)
"I believe in Jesus, I believe He is the Son of God, I believe He died and rose again, I believe He paid for us all." Then I stopped.
Sam said, "Mezzo soprano, just beautiful!"
Then Sam invited me to his next 'harmonica playing' event at Aqua books. Interesting... Aqua books is owned by Kelly and Candace Hughes; I had a friend/mentor ship relationship with Candace for 9 years, or so; Kelly is brother to Mark who is the pastor of Church of the Rock- none of which Sam knew about; very interesting, indeed.
